I just did the final accounts with the craftsman, and the total came close to 5500bt, with the extras, not 4000 which was me doing the calculation.

Storm or flood-damage?
No,no - it's part of the rural improvement scheme: We have a concrete road byt he riverside now, for the 5 cars in the village!
